PAWs disease and illness

Your dogs wellbeing should be a top priority, even if they seem happy and healthy. 

Council and Friends of Kempsey Pound have noticed more cases of dogs affected by parvovirus and mange, which can prove fatal. The good news is that these conditions can be prevented easily with the right precautions.

As a responsible pet owner, make sure you are keeping up to date with your dogs vaccinations, including protection against parvovirus, available at your local veterinary clinic. Regular visits to your vet for vaccinations also helps safeguard your furry friend against nasty diseases such as hepatitis and distemper.

Additionally, it is easy to control mange by regularly treating your dog for worms, ticks and fleas.
